Only about a kilometer from one of the most visited temples in the world of Angkor Wat lies Wat Ang Kea Sa. Wat Ang Kea Sa is one of many monasteries in predominately Buddhist Cambodia with a thriving population of young men. Over one hundred Bodhisattva (The one striving for Enlightenment) monks study the Pali language (the language of Theravada Buddhism) here while also studying the international language of English. They split their study time towards the path to enlightenment with the path to a career in their post-monk hood world. After a few years of living in the pagoda many of these men look to enter the tourism workforce thriving in Siem Reap. Speaking another language is a must in order to land a decent paying job at one of the many new four and five star hotels popping up. Alongside their traditional orange robes they reveal a somewhat non-traditional view of tattooed arms with cell phones clipped to their robes and a partially divided life they will live. While Buddhism will probably play a prominent role in their future lives, their time at the pagoda and their time in the robes is short lived.

Today I managed to drag one display case up for built LEGO pieces from the ground floor storage to the second floor LEGO Room with the help of my two sons. This room being too small I think I would be able to squeeze one tall one like this and the one half tall, wide table shaped glass display unit on top with storage compartment underneath later. They are surprisingly heavy so I will do one by one later again. Anyway, the case looks fantastic here and I thank Yoshi for it and the other five still in the storage which in due course will find their rightful places to shine!
For a while last weekend the flood control structure in Creekside Park was in competition for the largest open body of water in El Cerrito. (City swim center not included.)
It was just puddles today but the pond may be back tomorrow.
For comparison:
Junk Jet n°3 asked for fluxing architectures, boogie, buildings, rolling rocks, flying architectures, provisory pyramids, and temporary eternities; for all kinds of practical concepts and conceptual practices, for stable happenings and unstable thoughts, for lifted cellars and dugin landmarks, for curtains, mobiles, house boats, bubbles, zeppelins, flying saucers ...
... it received fantastic forms of material, immaterial, physical and mental flux. Not only were immovables made movable, but also were put forth moving ideas of aesthetic, social, and political concern. We recognize that it is in microarchitectures, where architecture resides today, that speculations cannot be hilarious enough, and that the post-digital is the era, we already live in.

The Postcard
A postcard that was published by Neurdein et Cie of Paris.
The card was posted in Streatham, London SW16 on Wednesday the 30th. March 1921 to:
Mrs. Lewis,
19, Princess Street,
Chapel,
Southampton.
There is a brief pencilled message written in a childish hand on the left of the divided back of the card:
"Dear Auntie,
Thank you for my

l'Église du Saint-Sépulcre
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, situated in the heart of the old town centre of Abbeville, is a collegiate Gothic church from the 11th. century.
The church was classified as an historical monument in 1907.
During the Great War, the church's stained-glass windows were blown out. In May 1924, the municipality decided to repair the damage.
However, incendiary bombardments in WW2 on the 20th. May 1940 hit the church very hard. The vaults and some of the walls collapsed, with the windows again being destroyed by the blast from the bombs.
The church's restoration did not begin until 1970.
In 1982, the inspector of Historic Monuments proposed to Alfred Mannessier, a painter born in 1911 in Saint-Ouen in the Somme, to design 31 replacement windows for the church.
On the 2nd. April 1989, Alfred Mannessier inaugurated the first three stained-glass windows of the choir. The windows were made in Chartres.
In 2012, the bell tower of the church was endowed with its definitive roof, replacing the temporary one put in place after 1945.
Abbeville
Abbeville is located on the Somme River, 45 km north west of Amiens.
In medieval times, it was the lowest crossing point on the river, and it was nearby that Edward III's army crossed shortly before the Battle of Crécy in 1346.
The Destruction of Abbeville
The city was very picturesque until the 19th. August 1942 when it was bombed mostly to rubble in a single night by the Germans. Unexploded ordnance is still being found in the soil around Abbeville.
The town is now mainly modern and rebuilt.
The Saint Firmin Tower, at the rear corner of the church of St.-Vulfran, still exists, but it no longer has its very decorative top - presumably it fell victim to one or other of the two world wars that raged around the city.
Sean C. Finn
So what else happened on the day that Jeanne posted the card?
Well, the 30th. March 1921 was not a good day for Sean Finn, because he died on that day.
Sean C. Finn (born Michael John Finn; 1889, Rathkeale, County Limerick, was a commander of multiple units in the IRA's Irish War of Independence in the early 20th. century.
He led many attacks on the Black and Tans and the heavily-armed RIC patrols, with his brigade usually armed only with shotguns.
Training first with the scouting organisation Fianna Éireann and then being appointed a captain in the Irish Volunteers in 1914 when Ernest Blythe went to Limerick to organise there, Finn organised his west Limerick area.
He made contacts ranging from impoverished farmers in single-room cottages to the nationalist Anglo-Irish activist Mary Spring Rice, whose boat was at the disposal of his flying columns to cross the River Shannon.
He and his flying columns made west Limerick untenable for the British. By Spring 1917 he had 80 men in his brigade, and he continued to form companies in surrounding areas. In 1918 the area's Volunteers were organised into a battalion of the new Irish Republican Army, and Finn was soon appointed Brigade O/C. He brought the strength of the brigade up to 2,000 men.
Volunteers from the brigade guarded ballot boxes to prevent interference by the RIC; they sheltered various members after the Soloheadbeg Ambush. They attacked RIC plainclothesmen guarding men buying cattle from boycotted farms.
On the 13th. July 1920, a mixed RIC and Black and Tan patrol was attacked by the IRA under the command of Finn, and RIC Constable Patrick Fahey was killed.
Finn smuggled the British General Cuthbert Lucas, O/C of the British forces in the huge garrison of Fermoy, County Cork to the Shannon River while the British were searching for Lucas. After he handed Lucas over to the East Limerick IRA, the general either escaped or was released to Pallaskenry Barracks on the 30th. July 1920.)
The Death of Sean C. Finn
On the 30th. March 1921, Finn was killed in action during a three-hour engagement the Ballyhahill/Athea area near Foynes in Co. Limerick when his flying column was attacked late at night by three lorry-loads of Black and Tans.
In this battle, Tom Howard (who was later killed at an ambush at Lakelly) shot dead a Black and Tan who was about to shoot the dying Finn.
Since the earthquake struck January 12, Direct Relief has sent medical aid to Direct Relief partners on the ground caring for the many injured. The scenes have been heart-rending, and Direct Relief has been supporting several partners in Haiti working around the clock to treat the injured. One of the key partners include Partners in Health (PIH) , which, seen here, is operating a temporary facility out of the partially damaged General Hospital in Port-au-Prince.
Class 121 no W55020 of Chiltern Railways unloads in the short platform specially erected for three weekends of Risborough-Chinnor services. 'Ordinary' Chinnor and Princes Risborough services still terminate at Thame Junction, but with a special connection laid in CR's trains are able to pass on to Network rail metals and run into the station.
This platform line leads to the Down-side south sidings, reached via a reversal from the Thame Branch Siding that passes behind the signal box (and which is regularly used to reverse CR trains).

The Seville Fair Feria de abril de Sevilla) is held in the Andalusian capital of Seville, Spain. The fair generally begins two weeks after the Semana Santa, or Easter Holy Week.For the duration of the fair, the fairgrounds and a vast area on the far bank of the Guadalquivir River are totally covered in rows of casetas (individual decorated marquee tents which are temporarily built on the fairground). These casetas usually belong to prominent families of Seville, groups of friends, clubs, trade associations and political parties. From around nine at night until six or seven the following morning, at first in the streets and later only within each caseta, there are crowds partying and dancing sevillanas, drinking Sherry, manzanilla or rebujito, and eating tapas.

I can almost smell the sweltering Jodhpuri air after a short burst of rain in the hot, hot summer
7 July 2005
Northcote Conservation study 1982 survey images: colour slides, black & white:.
`Part of the Bellevue Estate of 1884 was purchased for a town hall site at the corner of Westbourne Grove and High Street. Councillors, Bastings, Dennis, Wallis and Verso, paid £715 of their own.
money for the site, pending the achievement of a loan by the new Council..
The site was fenced during 1884-5, and the Council obtained temporary offices and a council.
chamber in the Wesleyan schoolroom..
Made more financial by the subdivision of the municipality’s broadacres, the council called for.
designs, in 1887, for a permanent town hall. Architects, Sydney W Smith, Fred Harrison, Alfred.
Dunn and George R Johnson submitted designs, the latter being successful due to recent triumphs.
with the Collingwood and Fitzroy Town Halls. Johnson’s design was described as overly expensive,.
but was gone ahead with, in part, as the first stage. A tower, similar to that at Collingwood, was.
omitted from the construction..
The Mayor, Cr Verso, laid the foundation stone in August, 1888, and presided over the first meeting.
at the hall in the future post office on the 4th of October, 1889. The post office, which attracted a.
$3,000 subsidy from the government, the court house and the council chamber, were completed by.
March 1891..
Tenders for the next stage of the works were accepted from J Potter (the first stage contractor) for.
£3,053. Within these works wee a public library (which became the Surveyor’s office), the town.
clerk’s office, the rate collector’s office and the mayor’s and magistrate’s rooms which opened off the.
municipal chambers, and the post and telegraph office in the north-east wing of the building..
The furnishings, like the building, were based on those at the Fitzroy Town Hall: three hundred.
Vienna chairs were ordered, two-thirds with walnut seats and the balance with blackwood. One.
armchair was to be made to match and Wallach’s obtained the commission. The councillors’ chairs.
were to be of walnut frames with leather upholstery..
In time, the space used as the town hall (originally designed as a supper room) proved too small and a.
descendant of the unsuccessful architectural competitors of 1887, Sydney Smith and Ogg, designed a.
new town hall in 1912. Mayor Cr B E Johnson laid the foundation stone in December, 1912. From.
the arcaded gallery facing Westbourne Grove, a large pedimented wing, with arcading at two levels,.
was extended to meet what was the Police Court..
Further work at the town hall included its redecoration in 1926 by J Ross Anderson, the original.
decorator of the 1890 stage. Harry Norris, the architect who had designed the Memorial Hall (qv),.
was called upon to rebuild the town hall lobby in 1930. Morrison Brothers were the builders and the.
work consisted of a new staircase and renovation of the space it served on two levels. The town hall.
interior was also refurbished, just twenty years after it was built..
V J Bradley, the city engineer, is said to have designed a lavish Jazz-Moderne inspired layer of.
fibrous plaster over the interior walls (probably designed by Norris). A reinforced concrete balcony.
for the orchestra was added at the west end: the proscenium was redesigned with recessed lighting.
and heavy velvet curtains; balconettes with floodlights within were attached to the walls and upward.
facing light fittings were placed at the base of new pilaster. Seven feet high, panelled dadoes of.
Queensland maple, which carpenters Kerr and Smith installed, were integrated with sunbursts and.
timber over-doors. Bronze finish metalwork pervaded and three large electroliers hung from.
octagonal plaster roses in the ceiling. The geometrically-shaped plaster work was by Clifton Hill executed by Northcote residents..
The decorative colour scheme comprised old ivory tints with gold leaf enrichments. Comparison.
may be drawn to the contemporary renovations undertaken at the Collingwood Town Hall, where.
Egyptian or Aztec-inspired colours picked out motifs against the old ivory. The decorative.
treatment, although a little thinly applied, is quite successful and remains an outstanding and original.
example of Moderne style plasterwork..
From the Victorian period, the former police court represents a fairly original interior; most others.
have been modified'
There's Mr. Mac and Mrs. PC, some books and magazines, the scanner, printer, Wacom and a gigantic pile of mess, carton boxes and... notice the walls ;) But nothing withstands creative moods in here!
//What a disaster
William Saunderson-Meyer says the floods just another blow to a province that was already on its knees
KwaZulu-Natal has declared a provincial state of disaster to try to cope with the devastating floods of the past week.
This is normally a temporary mechanism of which the primary purpose is to facilitate speedy national government assistance to hard-pressed provincial and local authorities. It also triggers the release of emergency funds from the National Treasury.
But in KZN’s case, they might as well make it permanent. This is a province that has been on its knees for some time and it ain’t getting up any time soon.
After all, KZN hasn’t even staunched the bloodied nose it suffered nine months ago. That’s when one wing of the African National Congress government — the Radical Economic Transformation followers of former president Jacob Zuma — tried to bury the other — the so-called reformists led by President Cyril Ramaphosa.
KZN hasn’t even properly tallied the body blows it suffered then. The official estimates for the insurrection were 45,000 businesses affected, R50bn in economic damage, 129,000 jobs lost, and 354 killed.
These estimates are probably on the low side. For example, the number of people who were killed in the mayhem doesn’t include the many whose bodies were simply never found and counted.
And the true economic cost is incalculable. There’s been substantially increased emigration of minorities, cancelled investment, and the loss of international confidence in KZN as a safe tourist destination. In at least a dozen small, country towns, all the business infrastructure was destroyed, paradoxically by the very people who worked and shopped in those buildings.
Now the floods. The death toll is over 300 and still rising. Some 6,000 homes have been destroyed and road, water sewage and electrical infrastructure uprooted. As I write this, roaming mobs are opportunistically plundering container depots, stranded trucks, abandoned homes and vulnerable businesses, reportedly unhindered — as was the case during last year’s riots — by the police and army.
Naturally, no disaster is complete without a scapegoat. Ramaphosa, as is his style, was quick off the mark to finger the culprit — climate change.
“This disaster is part of climate change. It is telling us that climate change is serious, it is here,” Ramaphosa told reporters while inspecting a devastated Durban. “We no longer can postpone what we need to do, and the measures we need to take to deal with climate change.”
What balderdash. Whatever role climate change may or may not have played in the larger scheme of things, it’s nonsense to pin on it responsibility for the plight of KZN. That lies with the ANC government.
First, this was not an unforeseeable bolt from the heavens. The forecasters warned months back that this was likely to be an exceptionally wet summer because of the La Niña weather pattern that occurs every few years.
There are also historical precedents for extreme weather in KZN, which a prudent administration would have taken note of.
In 1984, Tropical Storm Domoina wreaked havoc in a swathe from Mozambique, through Swaziland to KZN. Although the current downpour is worse, the scale is nevertheless in the same ballpark.
This latest storm — as yet unnamed — dumped 450mm of rain on Durban in 48 hours. Domoina let loose 615mm in 24 hours on Swaziland and northern KZN.
But the true difference between those events, 38 years apart, lies in the lack of preparedness on the part of today’s authorities. In 1984 the SA Air Force deployed 25 helicopters to airlift people to safety. In the 2000 Mozambique floods, 17 SAAF helicopters rescued more than 14,000 people.
This time, according to a News24 report, the SA Police Service and the SAAF, combined, have been unable to put a single chopper in the air. The erosion of South Africa’s military means that of the SAAF’s 39 Oryx helicopters, only 17 are serviceable.
Durban-based 15 Squadron has not a single helicopter available for search and rescue — they are reportedly primarily used as VIP transport — but two SAAF choppers supposedly have been despatched from Gqeberha to help. The SAPS airwing has only one serviceable helicopter but “the pilot on duty has been booked off sick”.
Second, throughout the province, local government is also in a state of disaster and unable to do its job. The scale of the KZN impairment can be measured in the flood destruction of homes.
Some 4,000 shanties have been destroyed, many because officialdom was too lax to forbid building on the floodplain and against precariously unstable hillsides. Another 2,000 of the homes swept away were so-called RDP houses, shoddily built during the kickback-and-steal bonanza of the government’s Reconstruction and Development Programme of the late 1990s.
In Durban, the eThekwini metro is bloated and inert. It carries a rates and services debt of R17bn, of which R1bn is owed by the national government.
Durban is also infamously corrupt. Former mayor Zandile Gumede — along with 21 co-accused — is facing fraud, corruption and money-laundering charges in connection with a R320m municipal tender.
Yet at the weekend, even as the rain was bucketing down, she won the ANC’s regional leadership contest hands-down, despite the party’s supposed “step-aside when accused” rule.
The ANC-aligned Ahmed Kathrada Foundation has no illusions about the party it supports. It issued a statement calling on the government to ensure that unlike the plundering of Covid-19 emergency relief funds, the KZN disaster funds were not stolen or misused.
Fat chance. The ANC has already announced that its parliamentary constituency offices in KZN would become “hubs for humanitarian support” and appealed for the donation of relief supplies. Watch the trousering by the ANC’s public representatives of anything that the public is dumb enough to leave with them.
It’s in KZN where the ANC’s brazen indifference to the law and antipathy towards the Constitution is at its most obvious and most destructive.
On Monday, Zuma's corruption trial once again failed to take off in the Pietermaritzburg High Court when he successfully blocked the process with another round of delaying legal actions. His lawyers also had some carefully threatening words for the judiciary in a separate Supreme Court of Appeal action.
They urged SCA President Mandisa Maya to reconsider the dismissal of his latest corruption prosecution challenges. They warned that last year’s deadly July unrest was “in part, traceable to a perceived erroneous and unjust judicial outcome” that put Zuma briefly in prison for contempt of court.
“When such conceived mistakes are committed, the citizens (wrongly) feel entitled to resort to self-help…”
Floods, fires and locusts are devastating but at least happen relatively rarely. The ANC, alas, is a seemingly unending plague.
